I can't recommend any particular rebloomers for our area as I have not
been growing them long, I have some unkowns in my yard which bloom in the late
fall; I also ordered this year from Nicholls and received prompt shipment of all
items I ordered (no subst) and recieved an extra from a list I provided. Their
prices seem very reasonable also. In general I believe most rebloomers and Iris
in general will be more than happy with your zone 10 climate. Joe Ghio's Bay
view Gardens are less than a mile from the ocean in Santa Cruz and he has no
problems with getting enough summer heat to "ripen" the TB rhizomes. The lack of
winter chill effects siberians and dwarf iris negativly though. I do not believe
there are any repeat blooming Pacific Coast Hybrid (PCH) iris.
